TLDR : Answer Summary

The requirement for an airport transit visa when booking connecting flights on separate tickets within 12 hours is not universally fixed. Some commenters suggest that a visa is not needed, while others raise questions that hint at varying requirements based on the specific airport and country. Thus, it's essential to check the regulations pertaining to the specific airport involved.
